Chapter 208: Chapter 206: Mu Cidian Being Forced

Translator: 549690339

Song Zhizhi was inexplicably pulled away by Ji Baijian.

Sitting in the car, Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian, “Aren’t I supposed to eat at your house?”

“There is no need.”

“Isn’t your family very traditional?” Song Zhizhi frowned.

“It doesn’t have to be.”

“Ji Baijian?” Song Zhizhi’s voice trailed off.

“I need to go to M Country at 4 0’clock this afternoon. ”

“What?!” Song Zhizhi looked at him, then asked, “For a honeymoon?”

“No,” Ji Baijian explained, “I am going alone.”

“What?!” Song Zhizhi’s voice was high-pitched.

She felt like she’d been spun around in circles by Ji Baijian all day.

Luo Xiaolang seldom saw Song Zhizhi so excited, she glimpsed at her through the rear-view mirror.

Ji Baijian explained, “There is a bit of a problem in M Country, I need to go have a look.”

“Ji Baijian, you are purposely retaliating against me,” she said.

“Hmm?”

“Because I’m not good enough, so you’re leaving,” Song Zhizhi said, looking directly at him.

Ji Baijian chuckled lightly at that moment, “Madam, do you think your husband is such a petty person?”

“Yes, you are vindictive,” Song Zhizhi confirmed. Whoever heard of newlyweds separating on the first day.

This was clearly premeditated.

Ji Baijian’s slender fingertips brushed against Song Zhizhi’s cheek, “I know you are reluctant for me to leave, but I will be back as soon as possible.”

“I’m not reluctant.” “You’re just being stubborn.”

“I’m not stubborn.”

“Good girl.” Ji Baijian continued to pet her head, like pacifying a little child, drawing her into his embrace.

Song Zhizhi leaned against                 chest.

At that moment, she felt extremely dissatisfied, but couldn’t resist him.

Ji Baijian’s gentleness was like poison – impossible to refuse.

She asked, ‘When will you be back?” Her tone was rather whiny.

“In a week.”

“Premeditated.” Song Zhizhi was convinced.

“Really not.”

“Hmm. ”

Ji Baijian laughed, laughing, he held her even tighter.

He looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, his expression slightly changing.

Being sent to M Country at such a critical juncture?!

Maybe things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Xin Group.

Xin Zaozao was actually feeling rather sleepy today.

She got home too late last night, then couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

She should have fallen asleep easily after taking a bath and laying on the bed, but the villa was loud and disruptive.

She was a bit speechless.

Whatever happened with Wan Quan and Mu Cidian wasn’t usually important to her, but this time it heavily influenced her sleepquality.

She asked Nie Feng to go outside and see what was happening.

From Nie Feng’s description, she learned that Mu Cidian seemed to have fainted and was taken to the hospital urgently. Wan Quan was crying non-stop in the villa, like Mu Cidian was really dead. But in fact, he probably wasn’t dead.

She picked up her phone and scrolled through it.

The news on her phone was still about Ji Baijian and Zhizhi’s grand wedding, with all sorts of sweet details. There were no news about “Mu Cidian suddenly died”. She pondered, if Mu Cidian died, Wan Quan would be the culprit. Maybe she could even be charged with murder, then Xin Zaozao would truly have peace.

A faint smile emerged at the corner of her mouth at that moment. She always hoped for some disaster to befall Wan Quan and her son!

“Chairman,” Yan Quan Imocked and entered.

Xin Zaozao came back to her senses and gave a slight nod, “What’s the matter?”

“Regarding the documents that General Manager Mu insisted you sign earlier, about the golf resort cooperation with Hengda Group, now Director Liu Wudong has made a request. He demands a board of directors meeting to decide on related matters, and asked me to inform you to convene the highest decision-making meeting of the board of directors as soon as possible,” Yan Quan reported dutifully. Xin Zaozao was silent for a moment and asked, “Has Mu Cidian arrived?”

“I didn’t see General Manager Mu today. I asked his secretary, and he said that he didn’t come in today and didn’t know the reason.”

“So, it wasn’t proposed by Mu Cidian?” Xin Zaozao furrowed her brows.

“Not necessarily. Perhaps General Manager Mu instructed Director Liu Wudong to submit the application. As far as I know, they have a very good relationship and Director Liu is a staunch supporter of Mu.”

“That’s also possible.” Xin Zaozao nodded.

Can she still trust Mu Cidian’s words, even if he’s calculating against her from his sickbed?

Thankfully, she had long grown accustomed to such occurrences and didn’t feel anything now.

She said, “Help me delay it. I need to think about how to deal with it. Since Mu Cidian has made such a strong proposal, he must have given it a lot of thought.”

“Okay.” Yan Quan nodded, “But Director Liu Wudong’s attitude is quite firm. We may not be able to delay it for long.”

“I understand.”

“Then I’ll stop bothering the chairman.”

“Okay.”

After Yan Quan left, Xin Zaozao’s face darkened.

Even though she had the upper hand in the previous board meeting and cunningly took advantage of it, things are uncertain this time. She didn’t know if MRW would unconditionally help her again. After all, the business world is full of businessmen with vested interests. She could use Mu Cidian’s scandal to provoke Wu Qiang’s anger and resentment towards Mu Cidian, but ultimately, once things pass, they will maintain a normal relationship. It’s not possible to be hostile with anyone for too long. If Mu Cidian were to gain exceptional success one day, Wu Qiang wouldn’t want to be wiped out by him. The same reasoning applies to Zheng Feng as well.

Back then, she had leverage over Wu Cheng. Now that she gave the leverage back to them, the possibility of them unconditionally supporting her is zero. At most, they would maintain a neutral stance.

Her eyes narrowed.

She was always cornered by Mu Cidian, to the point of desperation!

Meanwhile.

The man who had been cornered by Mu Cidian was now getting up from his sickbed.

Wan Quan entered the room and saw her son standing up. She hurried over, “The doctor said you need two days of rest. You have a concussion and need to be observed.”

If she hadn’t checked on Mu Cidian’s room out of worry after calming down last night, she wouldn’t have known that he had passed out in bed.

She was terrified that Mu Cidian was dead.

If he was dead, what would be the point of her living?

If Mu Cidian was dead…

She had cried her heart out at the time.

Thankfully, the doctor said it was just some damage to the brain and he would be fine after several days of rest.

Now, instead of resting properly, why is he getting up again!

“I’m fine.” Mu Cidian said indifferently.

His attitude towards his mother was also very indifferent. Wan Quan grabbed him, “Where are you going?”

“To work.”

“You don’t have to go today.” Wan Quan said, “You need to rest properly.”

Mu Cidian looked at her.

“I will take care of the company matters for you. You don’t need to worry about anything.” Wan Quan stated bluntly.

“What did you do?” Mu Cidian frowned.

“The shares of Xin Group were originally given to me by Xin He. Now, I plan to take them back.” Wan Quan said, her expression cold.

Mu Cidian tightened his lips.

“In order to provide you with a better development opportunity in Xin Group and to be able to participate in board meetings, I transferred the shares to you at that time. Now, I have made an appointment with a lawyer. He will arrived soon. You just sign the papers, rest well in the hospital and stay out of Xin Group’s business for the time being.”

In fact, she didn’t want to cause any more conflict with her son over these matters.

In this life, she only has Mu Cidian left. If Mu Cidian is tired, she will help him. As for Xin Zaozao, if she doesn’t take her down, she’s not Wan Quan!

“I don’t need your help.” Mu Cidian refused.

“I won’t say anything more about it, I’ve made my decision.” Wan Quan said, “I also don’t want to argue with you anymore. You’re my son. I don’t want to let our mother-son relationship be strained because of Xin Zaozao. Xin Zaozao is not that important.”

Mu Cidian stared at his mother.

Wan Quan didn’t meet his gaze and picked up the phone, her tone very casual, “Lawyer Zhang, are you here yet?”

“At the hospital entrance.” “VIP806. You can come directly. I’ve spoken to the front desk.”

“Okay, see you in a bit.”

“See you soon.”

Wan Quan hung up the phone.

Mu Cidian watched his mother coldly.

Wan Quan, without responding to Mu Cidian, sat on the sofa in the ward, waiting.

In the incredibly silent ward, someone knocked on the door and entered. Zhang Jianzhong came in. Wan Quan was very enthusiastic, “Hello, Lawyer Zhang.”

“Hello, Mrs. Xin.” Zhang Jianzhong also responded enthusiastically.

“Sit down.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Xin. ”

“Since Xin He has passed away, you shouldn’t call me Mrs. Xin anymore. You can call me Miss Wang,” Wan Quan said nonchalantly.

Zhang Jianzhong was momentarily taken aback, then swiftly changed his form of address. “Miss Wang. ”

Wan Quan nodded and got down to business. “I believe I made it quite clear over the phone. I want the shares in my son’s possession to be fully transferred to me. Have you prepared the transfer agreement?”

“It’s ready. As long as you and your son sign and put your seal on it, the agreement will take effect immediately,” quickly pulling out the transfer agreement, Zhang Jianzhong handed it to Wan Quan.

Wan Quan took it and looked it over.

Finding no issues with the contents, she signed her name without hesitation.

Then she handed it to Mu Cidian. “Cidian, sign here.” Mu Cidian remained unresponsive.

“Mu Cidian,” Wan Quan’s tone became heavier.

“I don’t want you interfering in Xin Family’s affairs. I’ll handle it myself,” Mu Cidian responded bluntly.

“Whether you want me involved or not, I must retrieve those shares. Otherwise, I won’t feel secure,” said Wan Quan caustically.

Mu Cidian’s lips pressed into a thin line.

“Sign it,” Wan Quan insisted relentlessly.

Mu Cidian did not make a move.

“Sign it!” Wan Quan forcefully placed a pen in Mu Cidian’s hand. “Sign it now! Right now!”

Mu Cidian clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Wan Quan glared at Mu Cidian. “Are you starting to resist me now?” she growled.

“I don’t want you to get involved.”

“Stop making excuses! It’s not that you don’t want me involved; you’re afraid that I might do something to Xin zaozao! Mu Cidian, if you can’t be ruthless, I can be! Just sign it! I won’t pressure you afterward. Do whatever you want! However you like!” Wan Quan shouted, her body shaking with anger.

Mu Cidian still didn’t pick up the pen.

“Are you waiting for me to die before you, is that it?” Wan Quan asked him. “Fine, Mu Cidian. I’ll show you just that!”

With that, she picked up a fruit knife from the fruit plate next to her, and without regard for the consequences, she slashed at her own wrist.

Blood spurted out of her wrist.

The sight was horrific.

Wan Quan’s action was alarmingly swift.

There was no time to stop her; her wrist bled profusely.

Zhang Jianzhong was frightened. “Miss Wang!” he exclaimed.

Of course, Mu Cidian could not remain indifferent at this moment. He rushed over to apply pressure to her bleeding wound, calling out for a doctor in panic. “Call a doctor, get a doctor, quickly!”

The scene was utter chaos.

In the midst of all this, Wan Quan gazed at Mu Cidian coolly. Despite her face turning alarmingly pale, she said, “Between Xin Zaozao and me, you can only choose one!”

Having said that, due to excessive blood loss, she fainted.

The doctor arrived at that very moment and immediately rushed Wan Quan into the emergency room.

Mu Cidian sat outside the emergency room.

His mother’s fresh blood still stained his clothes.

His face was cold, indifferent even.

His eyes were fixed on the floor.

His suppressed emotions were constantly being held back.

More than half an hour passed.

The doctor emerged from the emergency room.

Mu Cidian approached the doctor.

“Don’t worry; although she lost substantial blood, we’ve managed to stop the bleeding and have already given your mother a blood transfusion. Her condition is stable now, ” said the doctor.

Mu Cidian nodded his head, “Thank you.” “Just doing my job,” replied the doctor.

Subsequently, Wan Quan was wheeled out. She was awake when she came out.

But she refused to look at Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian did not call out to her either, he just accompanied the nurse, wheeling her into the hospital room.

The room remained silent.

Mu Cidian asked Zhang Jianzhong to go back first. He wasn’t going to sign the transfer agreement.

He stayed by his mother’s side and peeled an apple for her.

He then neatly placed it in front of her, “Eat something.”

Wan Quan didn’t spare it a glance.

Mu Cidian said nothing more. He placed the apple on the bedside table and said, ‘You should rest. I’m off to work now.”

Wan Quan glared at him with resentment.

Mu Cidian didn’t give Wan Quan a chance to speak at all, and left directly.

As he left, Mu Cidian heard the sound of a plate falling in the ward.

Presumably, his mother was angry and threw something onto the floor.

Yet, he did not linger and left.

He walked out of the hospital, took a taxi, and headed straight for the Xin Group.

He went in.

The people coming and going saw him and wanted to respectfully address him, but they were frightened by his particularly cold face and didn’t dare to speak up. Even the blood stains on him were obvious, making people keep their distance.

Mu Cidian didn’t care about the glances coming and going, he got into the elevator and went straight to his office.

The elevator opened.

He walked towards his office.

He walked past an office.

The office door suddenly opened.

Xin Zaozao came out from inside, she had a document to be verified by the Finance Department, and if she didn’t go there herself, she wouldn’t get any result.

So, at this moment, she saw Mu Cidian.

The moment she saw him, she obviously took two steps backward, keeping a certain distance from him.

Mu Cidian looked deep into her eyes.

Xin Zaozao also looked at him indifferently.

The bandage on his forehead was obvious, as were the blood stains on his body.

At this moment, she felt that Mu Cidian looked very dangerous.

She turned around unconsciously, preparing to call for Nie Feng.

However, Mu Cidian had already walked past her.

He then entered his own office.

Just now, Xin Zaozao•s defense against him, her unhidden defense…

He swallowed slightly, took off his blood-stained clothes, changed into another suit he had always kept in the office, adjusted it properly, and then turned on the computer.

In his computer were many operations, management policies, and relationship networks of the Xin Group over the years, which was quite comprehensive. Comprehensive enough, to swiftly take control of all aspects of the Xin Group. He started sorting them out meticulously.

Making everything even better organized.

To make it appear well-structured and clear.

He sat in the office, a whole day passed.

He didn’t have breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

He saved all the files and compressed them.

By the time he shut down the computer, it was pitch black outside.

Mu Cidian stood up.

A knock was heard from outside the door.

“Come in.”

The secretary walked in, “Manager, I ordered take-out for you. You already have stomach problems, and you have not eaten anything since noon. You should be careful about the stomach ache.”

Mu Cidian nodded slightly, “Put it on the table.”

“Please remember to eat it, Manager. They always say stomach illnesses are healed 30% by medicine and 70% by nourishment.”

“Okay.”

“I will not disturb your work anymore.” As she said this, the secretary was about to leave.

“Wait a moment.” Mu Cidian suddenly stopped her. The secretary respectfully asked, “Do you need anything else, Manager?” “Has the person in the opposite office left?”

“Are you referring to Director Xin?” The secretary asked cautiously.

Everyone knew that the CEO, her boss, Mu Cidian, and Xin Zaozao, the director, were at odds.

“Hmm.” Mu Cidian’s expression didn’t change. ‘When I went to the tea room just now, I saw her still there.” “Do we have extra takeaway?” asked Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian said, “Split it in half and give it to the other side.”

“Do you mean…” Before the secretary could finish her sentence…

“Split it in half and take it to her.” Mu Cidian dropped the sentence and turned towards the bathroom in his office.

The secretary was startled for quite some time.

She was sure she hadn’t heard wrong, she couldn’t have heard wrong..
